Apr. 06, 2012 Back to Canada... View of Toronto tower across the lake Ontario. A long trip: we landed at 2 o'clock in the morning, went to a hotel over night and rented a car to return to Ottawa - a long trip and a lot of fatigue It's cold and windy, brrr - what a difference! I applied a oil painting effect to the image to give it a more exciting look :)
Crossing Toronto - view from the passenger seat
Apr, 13, 2012 Downtown Gatineau, Quebec - the French side of Ottawa River - View from the Parliament Hill, Ottawa * No buds in the trees yet :) ** Yes, I made it like a painting :)
Apr 12, 1912 Postcard from downtown Ottawa Thank you so much for all the nice comments on my old like photo of the Chateau Laurier - I'm quite busy right now, that I returned home, but I'll recuperate :)
Apr. 20 2012 Ukrainian Church in Ottawa - Looking for nice Orthodox churches to photograph, I found this one that attracted my eyes with its golden cupolas and great windows - it was not very sunny, but I really like this kind of cloudy light :) * I'm so proud to let you know that I won the contest for old photography on Dgrin, with the "Chateau Laurier" photo I posted few days ago :)
Apr. 17, 2012 Who doubted that the spring will ever come here? ;) This past Sunday I saw the first cherry blossoms in Ottawa - Yeah!!!
Apr. 18, 2012 First Magnolia blossoms in Ottawa - notice the wrinkled petals - they had just sprung from the buds :) Yes, the spring is late this year here. In reply to "fotoeffects": Ottawa can be considered far North, depending on where you are... - on the map, at the same latitude of 45° you can also find Minneapolis/St. Paul in N. america, or Torino, Bologna, Bordeaux, Bucharest in Europe.
